Manager, Digital Regulation & Corporate Compliance in London

As part of our Strategy, Risk & Transactions Advisory business, we are significantly investing in the growth of our Ethics & Regulatory Compliance (E&RC) team. We empower organisations to navigate the full spectrum of regulatory demands and ethical expectations, fostering truly responsible business practices. This includes critical areas such as Anti-Bribery & Corruption, Data Privacy, Human Rights, Competition, and the rapidly evolving landscape of Digital Regulation (including online safety, artificial intelligence and consumer protection).

Deloitte’s E&RC team is formed of a multi-disciplinary team that includes governance, risk and compliance specialists, non-practicing lawyers, technologists, trust & safety and policy experts working across the areas of digital compliance and broader corporate compliance, working in collaboration with specialist teams across Deloitte. We are helping some of the world’s leading brands navigate the challenges of regulatory change by delivering premium advisory services with our services spanning compliance operating model design and implementation, regulatory risk assessments, and monitoring & reporting, with deep regulation specific subject matter expertise.

We establish frameworks, capabilities, and technology, making a tangible impact by improving the rights of billions of digital users and ensuring ethical conduct across all industries. Our team has extensive experience in delivering E&RC projects for organisations across a variety of different industries around the world, as well as providing insights, thought leadership and regular contact with our global network.

We are expanding our Ethics & Regulatory Compliance (E&RC) team and seek motivated, collaborative individuals with a strong understanding of risk, compliance, ethics, governance, and assurance. You will be part of a team providing compliance and regulatory advisory solutions and advice, building trusted client relationships across diverse industries.

This role suits candidates with five to eight years’ professional experience (ideally with a professional services or industry governance, risk and compliance industry role) and with a desire to help companies establish practical processes for regulatory compliance and build customer trust. You will support clients, including some of the world’s largest and most complex organisations, across the full regulatory lifecycle – from operating model design and risk mitigation to audit preparation.

You will help clients identify challenges and provide solutions through advisory, process, capability, and technology improvements. You will have the opportunity to be involved in projects such as:

• Reviewing and assessing the current state of compliance across the organisation and recommending practical enhancements.
• Designing and implementing enterprise-level governance, risk, and compliance frameworks.
• Performing regulatory risk assessments, including anti-bribery & corruption, online safety and broader compliance topics.
• Designing and documenting regulatory controls and preparing for independent audits (e.g., ISAE3000).
• Establishing specific content compliance and trust & safety processes (e.g., minor/vulnerable user safety, fundamental rights, deepfakes).
• Advising on specific regulatory domains such as anti-bribery & corruption, whistleblowing, fraud and digital regulation.

You must possess excellent communication skills, with experience presenting to senior stakeholders, and be a strong team player capable of assimilating issues across industries, with potential for leadership. Our engagements demand pragmatic approaches, grounded in a solid understanding of ethics and regulatory compliance, to provide sound advice and minimise client risks effectively.

Working across multiple industries, you will need to work with clients to help them identify challenges with their existing risk and compliance capabilities and help provide solutions via a combination of advisory, process, capability and/or technology improvements.

You’re adaptable and able to understand and assimilate regulatory issues across different types of industries and to develop insights into how these issues might affect different types of business and can change direction quickly as industry standards emerge or client priorities change.

You take a pragmatic approach to compliance centred on a solid understanding of governance, ethics and compliance frameworks thus enabling us to provide sound advice to our clients to help them meet the challenges they face and manage risks to an appropriate level in an effective and efficient manner.

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships).
